A-Rod's Wife Files Big D

Cynthia Rodriguez has officially filed for divorce from Alex Rodriguez.

In the documents, filed today in Miami, Cynthia says she's exhausted every effort to salvage the marriage. Alex has "emotionally abandoned" his wife, leaving her with no choice but to divorce him.

She says the marriage is "irretrievably broken" because of Alex's "extra-marital affairs and other marital misconduct." Note she said affairs -- plural.

She's seeking primary custody of the couple's two girls, Ella and Natasha, as well as child support to "maintain the existing lifestyle of the children." That includes life and health insurance and private school.

Cynthia says her man, a "prominent athlete" with "substantial earning power," has the "fiscal capacity to continue his high style of living" but she does not -- hence she's asking for alimony. She is asking to keep their $12 million, six-bedroom estate in Coral Gables, Fla. (and everything in it), as well as her sweet ride -- a Maybach.

She's also asking A-Rod to pay off their debt, as well as her attorney's fees.

The papers mention that a prenup was signed before the couple married in November 2002. Earle Lilly, one of Cynthia's lawyers, told TMZ last night it's too early to know if they will challenge the prenup. A lot is on the line, because A-Rod is reportedly set to rake in $445 mil over the course of his career.

As we first reported, Madonna's name will not be in the divorce papers, but Cynthia's attorney, Earle Lilly, says A-Rod's relationship with her was "the last straw."

16. Oh good, it's gonna get dirty. I'll bet Madge is thinking "damn, I don't have time for this shiz, I'm going on tour. This shiz had beter not eff up my tour."

Maybe Guy isn't as stupid as I thought. Once Cynthia's lawyers finish proving that Madonna and A-Rod had an affair, Cynthia will be one rich bitch. She will have done all the work, and all Guy will have to do it collect his paycheck!

17. Yeah um why no comments about her banging Lenny Kravitz?Maybe because women are hypocrites.He cheated"oh he's a dog,she's now living with Lenny Kravitz,"oh she was a victim","they're just friends".Good thing he was smart enough to sign a pre nup,cause too many women think guys with money are their meal ticket,and that's BS!

18. C-Rod pops out the money-maker just 3 months ago and files for divorce?

Disgraceful behavior; another good reason to ban heterosexual marriage and legalize all other forms of prostitution!

20. Madonna is a tramp and always has been, everybody has there breaking point and this is just too much for her I guess.Remember you old HAG what goes around comes around. She is wrong, to hurt this family and GUY. I hate her so much, she looks like a man anyway, he probably wants her so he can have someone to work out with, old TRAMP.

26. It sounds like Cynthis is insecure and perhaps it is time to throw in the towel. Whatever their marital problems are, it sounds as if nothing was done to help her feel secure which is an important part of reestablishing trust that was once broken. Madonna is just a big flirt with guys she has come across. Madonna is essentally a retired hussy so Cynthia should not have felt insecure about Madonna. At least , I know I wouldn't worry about Madonna.

27. ummm...let's see, he's supposedly cheating with madonna...and he's a dog, but yet she can jet off to paris, to be with lenny kravitz, and she's a saint....give me a break...i'm tired of the "woman scourned" bs...and now she is wanting all of this money from him?? she has a college degree...here's a thought, maybe she should go back to work...the free ride is OVER!

29. What would be the point of a prenup if they are just going to be thrown out? Makes NO sense at all. I hope they keep to the prenup. Why did she sign it but now thinks she's entitled to more??

We have NO idea what's really gone on in that marriage. They both could be cheating for cripes sake.
